-### Protobuf Codegen?
-
-Note: this is not strictly required for working with Protocol Buffers in Hadoop. We can do most of this dynamically.
-Some people like having specific classes, though, so this functionality is available since protobuf 2.3 makes it so easy to do.
-
-In protobuf 2.3, Google introduced the notion of a [Protocol Buffer plugin](http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/reference/cpp/google.protobuf.compiler.plugin.pb.html) that
-lets you hook in to their code generation elegantly, with all the parsed metadata available.  We use this in
-`com.twitter.elephantbird.proto.HadoopProtoCodeGenerator` to generate code for each Protocol Buffer.  The
-`HadoopProtoCodeGenerator` expects as a first argument a yml file consisting of keys and lists of classnames.  For each
-Protocol Buffer file read in (say from `my_file.proto`), it looks up the basename (`my_file`) in the yml file.
-If a corresponding list exists, it expects each element is a classname of a class deriving from `com.twitter.elephantbird.proto.ProtoCodeGenerator`.  These classes implement
-a method to set the filename, and a method to set the generated code contents of the file.  You can add your own by creating
-such a derived class and including it in the list of classnames for the Protocol Buffer file key.  That is, if you want
-to apply the code generators in `com.twitter.elephantbird.proto.codegen.ProtobufWritableGenerator` and
-`com.twitter.elephantbird.proto.codegen.LzoProtobufBytesToPigTupleGenerator` to every protobuf in the
-file `my_file.proto`, then your config file should have a section that looks like
-
-```
-my_file:
-  - com.twitter.elephantbird.proto.codegen.ProtobufWritableGenerator
-  - com.twitter.elephantbird.proto.codegen.LzoProtobufBytesToPigTupleGenerator
-```
-
-There are examples in the examples subdirectory showing how to integrate this code generation into a build, both for generating Java files pre-jar and for generating other types of files from Protocol Buffer definitions post-compile (there are examples that do this to generate [Pig](http://hadoop.apache.org/pig) loaders for a set of Protocol Buffers).
